PRODUCTION SYSTEM
Technico follows the ‘TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM’ (TPS). The TPS is a method of production in which equipment, materials & worker are combined in an efficient manner. TPS System was developed by Mr. Taiichi Ohno (1912-1990) He adopted Toyoda’s original concepts; Just in time & Jidoka (advocated by their founder, Sakichi & Kiichiroh Toyoda) into our production system, originally called JUST-IN-TIME Production. The main goals of TPS are: Better ways to ensure production Quality. A working environment for maximum potential. Produce only salable products (Just-In-Time production based on Take-time) Making higher quality cars (Promotion of Jidoka) Making more reasonable priced cars (Thorough elimination of Muda) Creation of flexible and strong organized workplace Problems of Toyota Production System The Toyota production system may bring good benefit for companies. But, the system may induce new issues too because the system does not always think about workers. In fact, Toyota has issues of Karoshi/major depression etc. Benefits of TPS: Toyota Production System delivers the following key benefits: Quality inherent in Toyota’s products. Costs are kept to a minimum thanks to a good return on investment. Delivery is on time, and to the expected standard, allowing Toyota’s customers to plan and maintain their operations successfully. Environmental concerns are shared by Toyota and its customers, from manufacturing through to recycling at end-of-life. Safety is Toyota’s constant concern – both for its employees and for those of its customers. Key Features of TPS: Just-In-Time The Toyota Production System fulfills customer demand efficiently and promptly by linking all production activity to real marketplace demand. Just-in-time production relies on finely tuned processes in the assembly sequence using only the quantities of items required, only when they are needed. Imagine a process designed to produce six different types of product, where the total weekly demand for the range of products varies up and down by 25%, and the daily mix of product types is continuously changing. Jidoka There is no room for compromise in the Toyota Production System when it comes to quality. Jidoka incorporates quality checks into every step of the production process. By ensuring that all processes are visible, Jidoka helps ensure that any abnormalities can be addressed immediately. Kaizen Kaizen is a daily activity, the purpose of which goes beyond simple productivity improvement. It is also a process that, when done correctly, humanizes the workplace, eliminates overly hard work ("muri"), and teaches people how to perform experiments on their work using the scientific method and how to learn to spot and eliminate waste in business processes. Kanban In order to have this flexibility it is necessary to have the right things in the right place at the right time. The Kanban card is a simple, highly visible device that the Toyota Production System uses to call-up components as they are required, meaning only a minimal stock of components is held in the assembly area. Before stocks need replenishing a Kanban card instruction from the operator ensures a just-in-time delivery. Elimination of Waste Waste (Muda) is defined as anything that does not add value. This includes areas that might not normally be considered as waste, such as overproduction, holding too great an inventory, and all unnecessary movement, processing and waiting.
